Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is set for release this year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam).
During today’s Nintendo Direct presentation, Square Enix revealed a new gameplay trailer for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, the narrative continuation of last year’s acclaimed Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. The game combines full remakes of Dragon Quest I and Dragon Quest II, allowing players to experience the legendary RPGs for the first time ever on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store on Windows in 2025.
The new trailer showed off gameplay for the first time, as players take control of the descendants of Erdrick, the legendary hero whose legacy is passed down through generations in these games. Last year’s Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake chronologically takes place before Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, so players can continue the story in these games and complete the revered Erdrick Trilogy or pick up and play this compilation as a standalone adventure.
Developed by Square Enix Team Asano, HD-2D is a critically acclaimed graphic style that combines pixel art characters with 3D backgrounds, then adds high-definition visual effects to deliver a nostalgic, yet fresh visual style. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is the sixth title produced in the HD-2D style.
